Ravenna to Florence Drive -- which route?
We will be driving from Ravenna to Florence on a Sunday in late May. Via Michelin shows several routes, either going through the Apennines on smaller roads(A67), or heading up to Bologna and then south on the A1. We tend to prefer smaller and more scenic roads, but wonder if the A67 would be terribly slow going. If you have experience on either of these routes, I'd love to hear from you!

The Bologna route takes less time, if there are no traffic jams around Bologna or queues on the Apennine part of A1, du to roadworks.
The alternative is to take the 4-lane E45 passing by Cesena and Sansepolcro, then going to Arezzo on the windy (but scenic) road coming from Sansepolcro, and finally taking the A1 from Arezzo to Florence. It's going to take more time, but there's much less traffic.

Take the road to Forli and the S67 through the mountains if you have the time, it is a good road and a much more interesting drive (also as the crow flies but up and over, hence slower at times). About 140 km.
If you just want to put the hammer down, take the A14 dir to A14 to Bologna and switch to the A1 south (150 km total).
